Pneumatics Laboratory
The word ‘Pneuma’ means breath of air. Pneumatics is application of compressed air in automation. A pneumatic system is a system that uses compressed air to transmit and control energy. In Pneumatic control, compressed air is used as the working medium, normally at a pressure from 6 bar to 8 bar. Using Pneumatic control, maximum force up to 50 KN can be developed. Actuation of the controls can be manual, Pneumatic or Electrical actuation. Signal medium such as compressed air at pressure of 1-2 bar can be used [Pilot operated Pneumatics] or Electrical signals [D.C. or A.C. source – 24V-230V] can be used [Electro Pneumatics].
Pneumatics laboratory at D.D.University Centre of Excellence occupies an area of about 80 square meters. For practical exercises, a practice system and the basic kit for Pneumatics is available in this laboratory. In order to achieve the best practical results, the basic kit includes only industrial components. The components available in the laboratory are the mobile “DS3 synergy” system, Pneumatic valves of various nominal sizes with quick-release coupling, various single and double acting cylinders, double acting cylinders equipped with proximity switching for electro-pneumatic exercises etc.
